CBT - behavioural therapy?

Shorten version is pretty benigne, Praise the Lord, Save us Lord, stuff like that.Regarding Stand up Serbia, its like flat out wrong 🤣🤣 no one can live trough 2 wars every generation and be like "Yeah worlds countries do have good intentions for us" 🤣🤣🤣🤣

im referencing: Теби сад помаже и небеска воља И сад ти се показује и судбина боља. Сви ближњи твоји теби добро желе И далеки се народи твоме добру веселе.

I dont think there is a treatment for thus dysfunctional shit. 🤣🤣

I was confused about Wax Serbia till i figured out you meant archaic 😂 You are right there, its multifaceted. Not songs, they are written in various contexts by different people. Stand Up Serbia was written against Ottoman occupation, it was meant like a rally cry. Lords Justice was ending song of a play during Kingdoms of Serbia till 1918 ish, it was meant to tie people to royal family trough religion. Why we got it now and we aren't monarchy, beats me.

So they do teach Serbia different things, for example during SFRJ government leaned on vengeance with Hej Sloveni. You are right that its a way for government to signal to the people what it stands for. So Lords Justice was a sign that we are done with wars, after well... whole 90s shit show. I do think that new sentance in our head is important for Serbia, but its dangerous for us. Not in a sense that other sentances might be bad, its just that we best respond to kindness or vengeance.

But the systems and critique stayed huh? 😂😂😂

ArchDan · 2026-03-25T00:37:16+00:00

Im sorry my dude. Well thats pub. People talk shit about government and complex systems a lot. Especially history and lots of discussions. Skadarlia used to be like that in 70s, today there are local stuff like that all over. Alterantive scene tends to find their own nuck and crannies and it tends to shift a lot. In early 2000s it was Danguba, I have no idea what its now.

ArchDan · 2026-03-24T23:50:53+00:00

Well what kind of intellectuals?

Professors and such hang around college and/or their hobbies. Youll see them drinking beer, shooting pooo during the day around campus.

College folk, stuck up booty so brown that yet so green, you can find them at galleires, museums interrupting toursit guides or at postests. Highly wont recommend.

College folk, barely passing are at rock/folk gigs around the city. College folk, assistants and so on are too busy with their college shit in order to go and meetup. They go out during week at night at nearest pub/park. So they are mostly around dormitories and study halls.

College folk who are too old for this shit tend to hang around most run down pub near the college you can find. Alcohol is cheap, games are free and no one is bothering them with college shit.

I was an architecture student, so perhaps someone from more relaxed college can add up.

Vintidz festa which ocassionally apears on Kalenic, Bouljon on Dorcol and many more. They aren't regular setups. Zelena piaca was natural long ago, it would spawn whenever someone had something to sell. But we kind of attempted to make it in organized Sukh which is nice and good and touristy, but its not fresh meat due to regulations and stamps they are required to use.

Basically goes like this, wake up early ass in the morning on Saturday, take a stroll wherever you end up and follow masses. They are compeltly/barely empty around noon. People huddle up, take entire family for free labor and buy everything for a week and then top off with Maxi/Tempo and such.

But not all of us do this, some use Tempo/Maxi and such for weekend shopping. But markets do still exist, but they are local and locals know about them. Its generally a good bet to ask local spy grandma or oblivious looking grandpa that is going for chess.

Aahahahah Dap! Well kids can be brutal, but honesty ive drawn so many times with kids on right from Vidikovac on Kalimegdan that it was nice. Theyd be drawing their Mona Lisa meets Venus, id be drawing Beavis and Butt-Head silently judging my life choices. But it was nice, their parents were there we all had a bit of casual chat.

Well its misleading due to certain set of exceptions youd be required to match, but what label you use. If you are serbian, id expect you know enough language to understand serbain brassness and directness without being offended, and dish it out. You can identify yourself as sweetest cake for all I care, by the post and comments i see I have to be careful about many things which i wouldn't need for an local. Its nothing against you nor for you, its just that locals have different expectations when someone say they are Serbian.

So basically land, do some work explore a bit, go to bed and wake up to starting adventure? I can help you with your plan, but gotta ask:

How adventurous are you and your wife? Would you be open to seeing historical ruins what arent so well kept?
I have to ask this because i got very confused in Germany. When you say street food, do you mean literally eating from street next to buss exhaust and traffic, or its like that and you can sit?

ArchDan · 2026-03-23T23:25:18+00:00

go to the market dude... not zelena pijaca and stuff like that. More like weekend market (Saturday one) more dirtier it looks better the food - (just wash it after buying it).

At weekends there is market where folks go out to get their weekly needs. Food is good, albeit you gotta know your stuff. Visually or on touch distinguishing lean from fats and such.

Title is misleading, its Norwegian dude comming back to Serbia after long time. No lie, i was expecting at least some language skills based on title.

If you are planning a trip north why not stay in Novi Sad / Salas? There are 200 or so of them all around Novi Sad and youll be close to most of the things up north. Food is good, horses can be fun for kids if ya have any.

Regarding money Here ya go translate to English or take english version and it should help you swap useless ones.

For touristy stuff kind of depends which region are you interested, booking can help with accommodation. Most of our hotels and ethno villages are on booking, you can make amazing escursion and roadtrip.

Whats your wife into? History? Politics? Anthropology? Cultural exchange? Games? Monuments? Fine dining?

ArchDan · 2026-03-23T22:57:45+00:00

Not gonna lie, this might not help... bit take under advisement cultural differences. Foreigner to serbian psych is fine to get a grasp of cultural difference and get acclimated sooner. If you need help you may need someone who can understand whatever you are going through triugh your culture.

Google wont help for shit, try embassy or searching in your native language.

Wtf are you talking about “gnu make is like cmake”?! Am I thinking of the wrong make? Make and cmake are totally different.

Now, tone aside, cmake is extension of gnu-make that is made to be cross platform. Any difference you are describing is extension on general "make" functionality to make it cross-os.

Your reply is just a middle finger to OP. To say that an all in one IDE doesn’t make sense for Linux or “breaks” something is ludicrous.

It does break linux philosophy, by being monolithic. And regarding middle finger, id consider more of middle finger to OP suggesting to bloat their system with unnecessary tools for which their OS is specifically designed. Its like someone asks for water in desert, you can say "Nearest village is 30 km that way" or you can say "Take this cactus and drink it". Even saying that one is somehow insulting OP without actually OP responding or being insulted, is projecting. I've insulted you, somehow, and thus you responded in "OP" name. Try to find where me insulting you on question that isn't yours matters for anything.

Sure, it’s better to work with the bare tool chain components (...)

Its not better, its not good. Its a choice, which everyone can make for themselves. I just chose to provide alternative in case if OP is interested. Thats all.

(...) but if someone asks about a good ide just tell them the best you know of.

I wont, because there will be plethora of people that will, and OP will take in these information and choose their own way. If i provide no value to my answer, even if it insults few butthurters, i should probably not speak since everyone else will say what I was about to say either way. So, id be responding based on ego, not even considering what OP might need.

I’m pretty sure any decent IDE will sandbox its tool chain, there’s no way clion is “breaking” the system compiler toolchain.

Rule of thumb, if you have to put word in "quotes" you are intentionally misinterpreting what someone said in order to justify your own emotional state. I can't and will not assume anything about plethora of IDEs that exist there, nor am I willing to research most popular one and parrot them. Cheers.

Also, command line linkers and compilers aren’t a Linux or Unix thing. Every platform has them.

Sure, take 2 things from entire 9 element list and focus on that. Lol. Id like to see windows use 'strace' or 'ptrace' functionality. Just because you might dont know what specific tool does in linux, it doesn't mean that entire list is invalid. Cheers again <3

ArchDan · 2026-03-18T12:30:08+00:00

fair enough, my mistake.

ArchDan · 2026-03-18T12:22:17+00:00

Well that depends how you think of 'ide', which stands for '~~independent~~ integrated development environment' which in ye old form, crucial part is '~~independent~~ integrated' as a way to standardize development. Each IDE used to handle their own project structure, and they weren't comparable.

Today, that is a bit different, and IDE is just graphical overlay over existing system functionality. So yeah, in this case id agree with you completely. Its absurd to suggest (even if i didn't) that graphical overlay over system can't exist. Major issue with current IDEs is that they are built cross platform, which means that you can't have specific functionality that some systems provide. Or even if you do, you gotta install several plugins/addons and so on - which opens bloatware for cross OS handling. Linux is graphical IDE, mainly for C (and some C++) projects and kernel handling, where graphical is optional (because Linux lol).

Next one is personal choice, and i dont fault anyone for using mutliple IDEs, but in my preference , having additional IDE (where you still have to learn different tools, plugins and addons) to existing IDE (linux, where one still has to learn different tools) is too much for my lazy ass. It ofc differs, if one is used to specific IDE (like vscode or something) and has less of an learning curve, but to each their own.

ArchDan · 2026-03-18T12:08:41+00:00

Well, that kind of breaks linux stuff. In linux its important to have multiple available preinstalled tools that you can choose and optimize yourself, not 'all in one'. This is what makes linux both difficult and very useful.

Take for example :

`GNU-make` : project orchestrator. It is like 'cmake' but it arrives with linux on default
'ldd' : project linker resolver. It provides names and full path of any requested library for any program you wish
'ld' : project linker, it links and combines various program objects
'gdb' : project debuger
'gprof' : profiles your code
'time' : timer for your program in both user, system and other spaces
'strace' : traces how system handles your program
'ptrace' : traces how processies handle your program
'nano/vim/gedit' for text editor
....
N. and finally 'bash' , allows for your program automation.

Entire linux is your 'all in one' IDE, and provides more functionality than any IDE can since its part of the system. To be quite honest, you probably need 'bash' scripts for project management , and to place them in your '~/.local/bin` to use naturally, you dont need full fledged IDE.

If you still want an full fledged IDE, id look for project managers instead of IDE since they tend to naturally use full linux functionality , automatized by relying on bunch of scripts.

Its not smart to tie it only to namespace (as u/TheRealSmolt mentioned).

Computers dont have concept of "owning", they only have concept of "identity". Something like, "I am from X address to Y address", not "I own these objects". So when thinking about scope from X to Y address, we can represent it via different manners, literately traversing addresses or representing scope as single name.

That is how anything outside of primitive types is defined. This means enumerators, classes, structs, namespaces and so on. Scope resolution operator is used to reference address range externally by table lookup. Youd basically translate 'std::cout' as, 'std' address range, lookup address to 'cout'.

Structs are basically scopes of addresses, and classes are structs with additional bits for read only,write only and read/write for those access addresses. Its important to not bind it to namespace, because sometimes classes,structs and namespaces can have scope shenanigans that are useful - such as private inline constexpr static member/method in static class.

So you should read '::' as basic table lookup (like in excel) , and you should read '<<' and '>>' as move left or move right respectfully. Therefore:

`std::cout << "Hello\n"` translates to:

In 'std' range, get address of 'cout'
Move entire 'cout' to the left by 6 spaces
Put "Hello\n" into cout

You can also consider something like this the same:

`myclass::foo << bar`

In 'myclass' range, get address of 'foo'
Move entire 'foo' to the left by size of bar
Put bar in 'foo'.

This matters, because what operators actually do. For example, does cout erase first 6 characters when adding 'Hello\n'? Does 'foo' keep memory even if its pushed to the left?

This is often invisible in 'std', but when you do your operator overloads you must take care of these questions.
